Assembling Your Bike
GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
WARNING
These instructions are for assembly of your bike only. You must also read the entire Owner’s Manual,
Owner’s Manual Supplements, and component manufacturers instructions for important information and
warnings about the operation of your bike before riding it.
Copies of your Owner’s Manual and any Owner’s Manual Supplements (Supplements often provide important
warnings, instructions and maintenance information for specific bike designs or families of designs) are also
available under the SUPPORT page of www.cannondale.com or at www.gtbicycles.com
Additional information about some of the components of your bike may be provided by the manufacturer of
that component. You can identify the make and model of a component and can access instructions on that
manufacturer’s website. For example:
Shimano: https://si.shimano.com/#/ SRAM: https://www.sram.com/en/service
STEP 3. Tools And Good Working Area
• Metric Allen wrench set (e.g., bicycle multi-tool with 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10mm Allen wrenches)
• For bikes with 6 bolt disc brakes a T25 size Torx wrench and bit.
• Torque wrench that reads in Nm (Newton Meters) and can use 4, 5, and 6mm Allen bits and T25 Torx bit.
o A torque wrench is special kind of wrench that allows you to turn a bolt to exactly the right level of
tightness. A bolt that is too loose won’t do it’s job, and a bolt that is overtightened can break – either
right away or over time and use. If you are going to assemble your bike yourself, you need a torque
wrench.
• Center lock disc brakes will require tools like the Park FR-5.2 or Park BBT-69.2
• Large adjustable wrench
• Phillips screwdriver
• Bicycle cable cutters
• Pliers
